Online music - have you been scolded recently?
The discussion about music downloads and music uploads is still ongoing, and the music industry is still reluctant to see that online sales are a viable business model per se.
They also don't understand that those terrible downloads actually don't hurt their favoured CD sales but instead find ways to annoy their potential customers.
Yahoo reports that there are some inventors in New York that believe that their invention "can thwart music pirates by secretly burying an anti-piracy warning in a track, which is disinterred if the copyright has been abused."
"Their patented idea is to incorporate a software decoder in file-sharing applications which encourage mass copying and are the bane of the music industry today. The decoder would detect the telltale phase shifts and convert them into the warning message, causing them to boom out through loudspeakers or headphones."
Legitimate users won't hear the scolding, so to speak, since the shift is so small that it doesn't disturb the music experience.
